First things first...GO MAVS!!! I don't want to get too carried away with comparisons just in case things don't work out the same way, but I remember another Texas basketball team coming back home to play game 6 for the right to play for it all in game 7. That seemed to work out pretty well (see My Beloved 1993-94 NBA Champion Houston Rockets) for everyone except the NY Knicks, but I get the feeling that most around town wouldn't be too broken up if Miami suffered a similar fate. I really hope Mavs fans get to enjoy that! On to the music...

I love the spectacle that is the NBA Finals, but LES CLAYPOOL & RASPUTINA are playing the Gypsy Tea Room's Ballroom tonight! I have been looking forward to this show for months, even more after Bobkat (soundguy extraordinaire for Club Dada, Bass Hall, etc.) highly recommended Rasputina! I will have to keep track of the game via my phone, cus nothing could keep me from this show!

Wednesday night I am going to be pretty busy, but what else is new? I am going to check out as much of the show @ the Granada Theater as I can I stay for with Richard Swift, Talk Demonic & The Walkmen before I head down to Club Dada for Indiekitten Goes West: The Atoms, Cowboys & Indians and Tomahawk Molly.

Thursday night is going to be game 7 (hopefully), so I'll be watching the game somewhere. Possibly I will watch the game at the Knox Street Pub, so I can walk across McKinney Ave to get to Ned Lane @ Cretia's on McKinney after the game! (my newest weekly tradition)

If the worst happens (and I don't have a Mavs game to watch on Thursday, I will be checking out Listening To:'s linup with Travis Hopper, David Ramirez, Levi Smith & Porter Davis @ Club Dada before I go to Cretia's on McKinney for Ned Lane.

I'll get to Friday and the rest of the weekend in a post later this week so for now...

Have fun! Be safe! See you there! GO MAVS!!
